Jim White heaped praise on Manchester City attacker Bernardo Silva after witnessing the 24-year-old play in the 4-1 win over Brighton.

The talkSPORT host shared that he watched Silva help Man City lift the Premier League title on Sunday and pointed out he thought the winger was brilliant in his latest outing.

White pointed out he noticed Silva recording a message on his phone after Man City’s title win and described the 24-year-old as a little entertainer.

“I was watching Man City win that title down at Brighton at the weekend, Bernardo Silva I watched him and he was brilliant, he was on his phone and sending out a message on his phone, filming himself, it was great to watch,” said White on talkSPORT (11:55am, Friday May 17th).

“He is a little entertainer in every sense of the word.”

OPINION

Pep Guardiola’s Man City squad is packed with a tremendous amount of talent so it is hard for individual players to stand out as a result. However this season Silva has been so impressive that he has managed to do just that. While at times the likes of Raheem Sterling have beaten him to the headlines, more often than not Silva has been singled out for delivering another fantastic performance. The 24-year-old has scored 13 and assisted 12 in 50 outings this season and will no doubt be fired up to add to his tally in the FA Cup final against Watford on Saturday. Silva will clearly play an important part in his side potentially lifting the FA Cup, and knows he will have to be at his best to help Man City make even more history. The winger for that reason is more than worthy of White being in awe of him, even though it’s a little odd that the presenter thinks Silva recording a video on his phone is an interesting tale.
